Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat half-day tour with snorkeling/glass-bottom boat
Guest User2026-04-03
A classic half-day tour. Rain was forecast, but the weather cooperated, so it was quite nice. Those prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication before going out to sea.★

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat Green Island Great Barrier Reef Cruise Half-Day Tour - Optional Morning/Afternoon Snorkeling & Glass Bottom Boat
Guest User2026-04-01
The organization was excellent, and the transfer to and from the port was seamless. The catamaran was comfortable. The staff deserves a special mention – they were welcoming and friendly, 10000% out of 100! They were very attentive, always ready to help, and created a great atmosphere, no matter the weather. Unfortunately, the boat ride was canceled due to the weather, but we were refunded for that part of the tour without any questions asked – that was a relief. The reef itself and Green Island are, of course, beautiful, despite the weather. We weren't able to fully enjoy all the activities, but no one can control the weather.★

Reviews: [Limited-Time Special for Kids] Cairns Great Barrier Reef Sunlover Day Tour with Optional Helicopter Ride
Guest User2025-04-30
The Sunlover cruise was fantastic value for money!
The scenery along the boat was breathtaking, the buffet was delicious and varied, and we were all well and well-fed. The crew was incredibly attentive, patiently helping with photos and answering questions. The helicopter tour is a must-try – a truly unexpected and amazing experience! The views of the ocean and coral reefs from the air were absolutely stunning! We also saw many beautiful little fish while snorkeling and even encountered a sea turtle!
It was a fulfilling and enjoyable day. Highly recommended!
